While you can easily rent your gear in resort, don’t forget you’ll need more than a pair of skis to get going on the mountain. If there are two items that are essential, it’s goggles and waterproof gloves, while ski socks, thermals and a helmet wouldn’t be a bad shout either.
While you can obviously buy all these things once you’re out in resort, take heed that resorts are notoriously expensive, so get organised and buy these items before you go.
